"h. Check out this football card ofJosh McDaniels. It's from 1995, from the Big 33 high school all-star game between Pennsylvania and Ohio. It's the only card of McDaniels, obviously, seeing that he went on to play Division III football and never played in the NFL. When he got the Denver coaching job last January, the card could be had for 75 cents. On Friday, it was selling for $40 on some of the secondary markets.

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is getting a lot of criticism for throwing consecutive passes to fourth receiver Sam Hurd against Denver standout cornerback Champ Bailey on third and fourth down to end the game in Sunday's 17-10 loss. Is is possible that Romo didn't know it was fourth down? Following the final incomplete pass to end the Cowboys hopes, a video caught on KDFW Fox-4 shows Romo seemingly telling his linemen to line back up. He then flashes three fingers to one of the game officials. After hearing the response, Romo screams and walks off field. If true, Romo apparently forgot about the spike to stop the clock on second down.

How many times can you lose in the final minutes of the last game? I was holding on to my lead until PRivers got hit by Harrison and fumbled. Last meaningful play of the game, and just enough points to edge me out. Seriously, if I had a 100 point lead in the final game, 4th quarter, 2 minute warning, the opposing QB would throw a 99 yard TD, get the onside kick, throw another 50 yard TD, etc., until that lead dissolved.

Epic fail, part II. Great game OC Log Cabins-- I'm the Kerry Collins of the HFC now.
